## Detailed Description

A straight line that spans infinitely in both directions.

Straight line example. Blue dotted circles are anchors, solid blue discs are positions.

It has two positions, point1 and point2, which define the straight line.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## § QCPItemStraightLine()

QCPItemStraightLine::QCPItemStraightLine | ( | QCustomPlot * | parentPlot | ) |
| explicit

Creates a straight line item and sets default values.

The created item is automatically registered with parentPlot. This QCustomPlot instance takes ownership of the item, so do not delete it manually but use QCustomPlot::removeItem() instead.

## Member Function Documentation

## § setPen()

void QCPItemStraightLine::setPen | ( | const QPen & | pen | ) |

Sets the pen that will be used to draw the line

See also
  setSelectedPen

## § setSelectedPen()

void QCPItemStraightLine::setSelectedPen | ( | const QPen & | pen | ) |

Sets the pen that will be used to draw the line when selected

See also
  setPen, setSelected

## § selectTest()

double QCPItemStraightLine::selectTest | ( | const QPointF & | pos,
|  | bool | onlySelectable,
|  | QVariant * | details = `nullptr`
| ) |  | const
| virtual

This function is used to decide whether a click hits a layerable object or not.

pos is a point in pixel coordinates on the QCustomPlot surface. This function returns the shortest pixel distance of this point to the object. If the object is either invisible or the distance couldn't be determined, -1.0 is returned. Further, if onlySelectable is true and the object is not selectable, -1.0 is returned, too.

If the object is represented not by single lines but by an area like a QCPItemText or the bars of a QCPBars plottable, a click inside the area should also be considered a hit. In these cases this function thus returns a constant value greater zero but still below the parent plot's selection tolerance. (typically the selectionTolerance multiplied by 0.99).

Providing a constant value for area objects allows selecting line objects even when they are obscured by such area objects, by clicking close to the lines (i.e. closer than 0.99*selectionTolerance).

The actual setting of the selection state is not done by this function. This is handled by the parent QCustomPlot when the mouseReleaseEvent occurs, and the finally selected object is notified via the selectEvent/deselectEvent methods.

details is an optional output parameter. Every layerable subclass may place any information in details. This information will be passed to selectEvent when the parent QCustomPlot decides on the basis of this selectTest call, that the object was successfully selected. The subsequent call to selectEvent will carry the details. This is useful for multi-part objects (like QCPAxis). This way, a possibly complex calculation to decide which part was clicked is only done once in selectTest. The result (i.e. the actually clicked part) can then be placed in details. So in the subsequent selectEvent, the decision which part was selected doesn't have to be done a second time for a single selection operation.

In the case of 1D Plottables (QCPAbstractPlottable1D, like QCPGraph or QCPBars) details will be set to a QCPDataSelection, describing the closest data point to pos.

You may pass `nullptr` as details to indicate that you are not interested in those selection details.

Implements QCPAbstractItem.

## § draw()

void QCPItemStraightLine::draw | ( | QCPPainter * | painter | ) |
| protected virtual

Draws this item with the provided painter.

The cliprect of the provided painter is set to the rect returned by clipRect before this function is called. The clipRect depends on the clipping settings defined by setClipToAxisRect and setClipAxisRect.

Implements QCPAbstractItem.

## § getRectClippedStraightLine()

QLineF QCPItemStraightLine::getRectClippedStraightLine | ( | const QCPVector2D & | base,
|  | const QCPVector2D & | vec,
|  | const QRect & | rect
| ) |  | const
| protected

Returns the section of the straight line defined by base and direction vector vec, that is visible in the specified rect.

This is a helper function for draw.

## § mainPen()

QPen QCPItemStraightLine::mainPen | ( |  | ) | const
| protected

Returns the pen that should be used for drawing lines. Returns mPen when the item is not selected and mSelectedPen when it is.
